Davis Auditorium

Join via TEAMS

Including Q&A session

Dr. Hao Yuan Kueh is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington Seattle, where he leads a research program seeking to understand and engineer the molecular circuits controlling immune cell fate decisions. With a background in physics, systems biology, and immunology, Dr. Kueh integrates single-cell analysis, synthetic biology, and mathematical modeling to uncover how gene regulatory mechanisms guide immune development and function.  Dr. Kueh earned his A.B. in Physics from Princeton University and his Ph.D. in Biophysics/Systems Biology from Harvard University. He completed postdoctoral training at the California Institute of Technology in the labs of Ellen Rothenberg and Michael Elowitz. During his postdoc, Dr. Kueh elucidated stochastic, dynamic nature of epigenetic control in T cell development. His work has since elucidated the epigenetic switching circuitry controlling T cell developmental and memory decisions, as well as a signaling circuits controlling T cell antigen and cytokine perception. Dr. Kueh has received numerous honors, including the National Institutes of Health Trailblazer Award and the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award.
